Interesting fact
The Didrachm coin , which was minted by the Dacians of Muntenia, features a unique design element - a horse's head on the obverse (front side) of the coin. This design was inspired by the Dacian tradition of horse breeding and riding, which was an integral part of their culture and daily life. The horse was considered a symbol of strength, courage, and freedom, and its depiction on the coin was meant to convey those values.
